(5 / 5) Flag as inappropriate - My child was being bullied the last school year, and I have to disagree with the comment that the school has teachers that keep quiet about it. The children were immediately reprimanded and sent to the principal's office. The principal had them apologize to my child. Sometimes kids don't get caught or are not told on for their bullying. I think we have wonderful teachers!

- Hello, my mother is a teacher in the math department for kelley/Dodson Elementary School. She is amazing! So if your child has problems maybe you should spend more time with them and their studies before bashing teachers. Thank you and have a fantastic day.

- She is a great teacher! She did get certified after she started teaching! You should have gotten a letter. It is hard to find a teacher who will come out here to teach. We're in middle of nowhere! She did have help from other teachers so don't think this will hurt the kid!

- Hello, I am a mother to a student who attends Kelly/Dodson. Just here to say my opinion. Well this year my child got a teacher who did not even go to college to be a teacher and she did NO student teaching before she started. She is not a certified teacher. State law REQUIRES that you have conferences with your student's parents, well she did not! I had to call her to set up a meeting. We should not allow people like this to come in and try to educate our children they deserve a better chance than this. Complaining on her to the boss will do no good. This teacher is now wanting to keep my child for another year. Well I wonder why! Please be aware Thank you
